N = 75,000*(1/2)^(h/4) . . . . N = number alive; h = hours

3000 = 75000*(1/2)^(h/4) . . . . . substitute given numbers
1/25 = (1/2)^(h/4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 75000
log(1/25) = (h/4)*log(1/2) . . . . . . . take the log, then divide by the coefficient of x
h = 4*log(1/25)/log(1/2) ≈ 18.6 . . . . hours

___
Of course log(1/25) = -log(25) = -2log(5), so the expression for h can be written as h = 8log(5)/log(2)

O<br> What is the exact circumference of the circle?<br> 3.14<br> 4<br> 7<br> pi
kow [346]
The answer is 4pi because the formula to find the circumference is C = 2 pi r. this question is asking for the terms of pi which means you remove the pi from the formula and solve it with out it. the radius is 2 because of the 2 units on the graph is halfway of the circle. you would just multiply 2 x 2 and get 4. after that you put the pi on the end of the 4. so the answer is C. (4pi)
